Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Union City, CA
Air duct cleaning in Union City, CA typically costs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system and is scheduled by appointment, not same-day. Most jobs here involve attached multifamily buildings with shared chases and older ductwork rather than standalone suburban homes. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and we dispatch crews from our San Francisco Bay Area office to serve Union City with written pricing and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Union City Homes Are Different
Union City’s housing stock is dominated by attached 3- to 4-story multifamily buildings and older row houses, many built between 1900 and 1950. These structures carry older ductwork, shared chases, and rooftop or basement furnace systems that change how we approach every job. The steep, densely built hills trap moisture and pollutants, and the humid continental climate drives year-round HVAC use. That combination makes duct mold and dust buildup a frequent complaint here.
In the dense multifamily blocks, a single basement or rooftop air handler often serves multiple apartments. Technicians frequently find common return ducts choked with construction debris from decades of unit renovations. Cleaning them requires coordinating with several tenants in one visit, not just walking into a single-family home. Newer high-rises along the Palisades add central HVAC with vertical duct stacks, which present their own access challenges. We price these jobs in writing before we start because the scope varies significantly from one Union City building to the next.
Our Main Union City Services
Union City homeowners call us most often for these three services, each with its own dedicated page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Union City
We clean supply and return ducts using a Rotobrush rotary brush system or Nikro negative-air machine, depending on access and buildup severity. In Union City’s older multifamily buildings, we often encounter shared return shafts that starve multiple apartments of airflow until they’re cleared. We photograph the condition before and after, and we coordinate with building management when common ducts serve several units. Air Duct Cleaning in Union City
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Union City
Dryer vent cleaning in Union City typically addresses runs that extend multiple stories through shared walls in attached buildings. Lint accumulation in these longer, more complex vent paths creates genuine fire risk, especially in buildings where the vent terminates on a roof or through a side wall three floors up. We use professional-grade rotary tools and inspect the full run with a camera when access allows. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Union City
Duct Sealing in Union City
Duct sealing with mastic and specialized tape closes leaks in supply and return runs that waste heated or cooled air. In Union City’s older multifamily stock, we find disconnected joints in basement trunk lines and leaks around rooftop penetration points that drive up utility bills for entire buildings. We seal accessible ductwork and mark inaccessible sections for building management review. Duct Sealing in Union City
